7 CuriousFacts About Charles Dickens
One of our favorite writers here at Writer’s Relief (WritersRelief.com) is Charles John Huffam Dickens—better known as Charles Dickens and one of the world’s most famous and beloved writers. Dickens wrote the well-known classics Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, and Great Expectations, among others. But, while most people know Charles Dickens, the literary icon…many readers don’t know the man behind the manuscripts. So Writer’s Relief has gathered seven curious facts about literary legend Charles Dickens.
One. Dickens always slept facing north, because he thought it would help him battle his incessant insomnia. Dickens also wrote while facing north because he felt it would stimulate his creativity.
Two. Charles Dickens was almost killed in a train accident! In June of 1865, Dickens was on his way to deliver the latest installment of the novel Our Mutual Friend to his publisher when the train he was riding in derailed. Dickens escaped unharmed, but many passengers were injured and ten where killed. Dickens assisted in tending to the wounded and helped free other passengers who were trapped. Another curious fact about this event that we unearthed here at Writer’s Relief: Dickens died five years later—to the day—after this railway incident.
Three. The Oxford English Dictionary credits Dickens for coining several words and phrases in his work. Examples include “abuzz”, “the creeps”, “flummox”, and “devil-may-care”. The staff here at Writer’s Relief is all abuzz over this information!
Four. Charles Dickens and his wife, Catherine, had ten children, and Dickens had a nickname for each child. These nicknames included ChickenStalker, Lucifer Box, and Skittles. One can only assume how Charles’s children earned these imaginative nicknames!
Five. Dickens was fascinated with hypnotism and often experimented on his wife, children, and friends. He believed hypnotism could be used to cure physical ailments and anxieties.
Six. Some scholars believe Dickens suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder. People who knew him said Dickens constantly combed his hair, rearranged furniture, and looked at himself in the mirror.
Seven. Dickens said that his eight novel, David Copperfield, was his favorite. Our research at Writer’s Relief finds that it’s also the most biographical.

Hi guys I will talk a little Charles Dickens
first of all let's talk about the
BiographyCharles Dikens...
Was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's most well-known fictional characters and is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period. During his life, his works enjoyed unprecedented fame, and by the twentieth century he was widely seen as a literary genius by critics and scholars. His novels and short stories continue to be widely popular.
Born in Portsmouth, England, Dickens was forced to leave school to work in a factory when his father was thrown into debtors' prison. Although he had little formal education, his early impoverishment drove him to succeed. Over his career he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas and hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms.
Dickens sprang to fame with the 1836 serial publication of The Pickwick Papers. Within a few years he had become an international literary celebrity, famous for his humour, satire, and keen observation of character and society. His novels, most published in monthly or weekly instalments, pioneered the serial publication of narrative fiction, which became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication. The instalment format allowed Dickens to evaluate his audience's reaction, and he often modified his plot and character development based on such feedback. For example, when his wife's chiropodist expressed distress at the way Miss Mowcher in David Copperfield seemed to reflect her disabilities, Dickens went on to improve the character with positive features. His plots were carefully constructed, and Dickens often wove in elements from topical events into his narratives. Masses of the illiterate poor chipped in ha'pennies to have each new monthly episode read to them, opening up and inspiring a new class of readers.
Most famous works ...
Oliver Twist.
It is the story of a young orphan, published between 1837 and 1838 relates his adventures, beginning on the day of his birth. From the heart of a dying mother, becomes part of the shocked world of the living, where luck is not exactly his mate.

After the death of his mother, the child will remain there for ten months before being transferred to another facility where it will withstand the cruelties of Mrs.Monn.

After the death of his partner, Jacob Marley, our protagonist, becomes sole heir to a fortune.
Casually Christmas night, rejecting the invitation of his nephew and denying help to the needy, he retired to rest. There the spectrum of Marley, his former partner comes, dragging chains, berating their actions, and foreshadowing that he will also be punished unless it receives three spirits.
David Copperfield.

Charles Dickens

Charles John Huffam Dickens (/ˈtʃɑːrlzˈdɪkɪnz/; 7 February 1812– 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity.

Born in Portsmouth, Dickens left school to work in a factory when his father was incarcerated in a debtors' prison. Despite his lack of formal education, he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms.

Dickens's literary success began with the 1836 serial publication of The Pickwick Papers. Within a few years he had become an international literary celebrity, famous for his humour, satire, and keen observation of character and society. His novels, most published in monthly or weekly instalments, pioneered the serial publication of narrative fiction, which became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication. The instalment format allowed Dickens to evaluate his audience's reaction, and he often modified his plot and character development based on such feedback. For example, when his wife's chiropodist expressed distress at the way Miss Mowcher in David Copperfield seemed to reflect her disabilities, Dickens improved the character with positive features. His plots were carefully constructed, and he often wove elements from topical events into his narratives. Masses of the illiterate poor chipped in ha'pennies to have each new monthly episode read to them, opening up and inspiring a new class of readers.

Surname

A surname or family name is a name added to a given name. In many cases, a surname is a family name and many dictionaries define "surname" as a synonym of "family name". In the western hemisphere, it is commonly synonymous with last name because it is usually placed at the end of a person's given name.

The style of having both a family name (surname) and a given name (forename) is far from universal. In many countries, it is common for ordinary people to have only one name or mononym.

The concept of a "surname" is a relatively recent historical development, evolving from a medieval naming practice called a "byname". Based on an individual's occupation or area of residence, a byname would be used in situations where more than one person had the same name.

The corresponding Old Norse form is Karl, the German form is also Karl. The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time Latinized as Karolus (as in Vita Karoli Magni), later also as Carolus.

Etymology

The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun *karlaz meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl (< Old English ċeorl), which developed its deprecating sense in the Middle English period.

In the form Charles, the initial spelling ch- corresponds to the palatalization of the Latin group ca- to [tʃa] in Central Old French (Francien) and the final -s to the former subjective case (cas sujet) of masculine names in Old French like in Giles or James (< Latin -us, see Spanish/ Portuguese Carlos).

David Copperfield

David Copperfield, (full title: The Personal History, Adventures, Experience and Observation of David Copperfield the Younger of Blunderstone Rookery (Which He Never Meant to Publish on Any Account)) is the eighth novel by Charles Dickens. It was first published as a serial in 1849–50, and as a book in 1850. Many elements of the novel follow events in Dickens' own life, and it is probably the most autobiographical of his novels. In the preface to the 1867 edition, Dickens wrote, "like many fond parents, I have in my heart of hearts a favourite child. And his name is David Copperfield."

One. Dickens always slept facing north, because he thought it would help him battle his incessant insomnia. Dickens also wrote while facing north because he felt it would stimulate his creativity.
Two. Charles Dickens was almost killed in a train accident! In June of 1865, Dickens was on his way to deliver the latest installment of the novel Our Mutual Friend to his publisher when the train he was riding in derailed. Dickens escaped unharmed, but many passengers were injured and ten where killed. Dickens assisted in tending to the wounded and helped free other passengers who were trapped. Another curious fact about this event that we unearthed here at Writer’s Relief: Dickens died five years later—to the day—after this railway incident.
Three. The Oxford English Dictionary credits Dickens for coining several words and phrases in his work. Examples include “abuzz”, “the creeps”, “flummox”, and “devil-may-care”. The staff here at Writer’s Relief is all abuzz over this information!
Four. Charles Dickens and his wife, Catherine, had ten children, and Dickens had a nickname for each child. These nicknames included ChickenStalker, Lucifer Box, and Skittles. One can only assume how Charles’s children earned these imaginative nicknames!
Five. Dickens was fascinated with hypnotism and often experimented on his wife, children, and friends. He believed hypnotism could be used to cure physical ailments and anxieties.
Six. Some scholars believe Dickens suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder. People who knew him said Dickens constantly combed his hair, rearranged furniture, and looked at himself in the mirror.
Seven. Dickens said that his eight novel, David Copperfield, was his favorite. Our research at Writer’s Relief finds that it’s also the most biographical.

Hi guys I will talk a little Charles Dickens
first of all let's talk about the
BiographyCharles Dikens...
Was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's most well-known fictional characters and is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period. During his life, his works enjoyed unprecedented fame, and by the twentieth century he was widely seen as a literary genius by critics and scholars. His novels and short stories continue to be widely popular.
Born in Portsmouth, England, Dickens was forced to leave school to work in a factory when his father was thrown into debtors' prison. Although he had little formal education, his early impoverishment drove him to succeed. Over his career he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas and hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms.
Dickens sprang to fame with the 1836 serial publication of The Pickwick Papers. Within a few years he had become an international literary celebrity, famous for his humour, satire, and keen observation of character and society. His novels, most published in monthly or weekly instalments, pioneered the serial publication of narrative fiction, which became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication. The instalment format allowed Dickens to evaluate his audience's reaction, and he often modified his plot and character development based on such feedback. For example, when his wife's chiropodist expressed distress at the way Miss Mowcher in David Copperfield seemed to reflect her disabilities, Dickens went on to improve the character with positive features. His plots were carefully constructed, and Dickens often wove in elements from topical events into his narratives. Masses of the illiterate poor chipped in ha'pennies to have each new monthly episode read to them, opening up and inspiring a new class of readers.
Most famous works ...
Oliver Twist.
It is the story of a young orphan, published between 1837 and 1838 relates his adventures, beginning on the day of his birth. From the heart of a dying mother, becomes part of the shocked world of the living, where luck is not exactly his mate.
The scenario begins to locate temporally and spatially on a cold winter night in a small town in England where Oliver's mother is found by people who take her to a hospice to have her baby. After the death of his mother, the child will remain there for ten months before being transferred to another facility where it will withstand the cruelties of Mrs.Monn.
At age 9 he was taken another institution where he continued his miserable life, being adopted by horrible characters.
Canción de navidad de Charles Dickens.
It was published in 1843, and has five chapters which the author called stanzas.
The action takes place in London, on a cold Christmas night. Its protagonist, Mr. Scrooge is a greedy, cold and calculating, that work of three spirits, representing well, enable the conversion of Scrooge, which is not progressive but abrupt and radical.
After the death of his partner, Jacob Marley, our protagonist, becomes sole heir to a fortune.
Casually Christmas night, rejecting the invitation of his nephew and denying help to the needy, he retired to rest. There the spectrum of Marley, his former partner comes, dragging chains, berating their actions, and foreshadowing that he will also be punished unless it receives three spirits.
David Copperfield.
This novel, semi autobiographical, starting on his birthday, a Friday at twelve o'clock, at which it was bound, as the midwives of the place to be unhappy and see spirits for the rest of his days.
Fatherless, endured intrusion into his life and his mother Miss Betsey, a rich and flamboyant aunt who would have preferred that the baby was a girl.
However, his life no major incidents, until his mother decides to get link to Mr. Murdstone, evil figure, accompanied by the presence of such a sinister like him who will suffer all manner of David misfortunes and mistreatment .
Historia de dos ciudades.
The story is set between two cities: London and Paris, at the dawn of the French Revolution. The first city symbolizes peace, second agitation, challenge and chaos.
The first part is set in the year 1775 in France. Lucia is a 18 year old girl who thought her dead father. However, thanks to the mediation of attorney Jarvis Lorry, manages to reunite with him and travel to England.

7 CuriousFacts About Charles Dickens
One of our favorite writers here at Writer’s Relief (WritersRelief.com) is Charles John Huffam Dickens—better known as Charles Dickens and one of the world’s most famous and beloved writers. Dickens wrote the well-known classics Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, and Great Expectations, among others. But, while most people know Charles Dickens, the literary icon…many readers don’t know the man behind the manuscripts. So Writer’s Relief has gathered seven curious facts about literary legend Charles Dickens.
One. Dickens always slept facing north, because he thought it would help him battle his incessant insomnia. Dickens also wrote while facing north because he felt it would stimulate his creativity.
Two. Charles Dickens was almost killed in a train accident! In June of 1865, Dickens was on his way to deliver the latest installment of the novel Our Mutual Friend to his publisher when the train he was riding in derailed. Dickens escaped unharmed, but many passengers were injured and ten where killed. Dickens assisted in tending to the wounded and helped free other passengers who were trapped. Another curious fact about this event that we unearthed here at Writer’s Relief: Dickens died five years later—to the day—after this railway incident.
Three. The Oxford English Dictionary credits Dickens for coining several words and phrases in his work. Examples include “abuzz”, “the creeps”, “flummox”, and “devil-may-care”. The staff here at Writer’s Relief is all abuzz over this information!
Four. Charles Dickens and his wife, Catherine, had ten children, and Dickens had a nickname for each child. These nicknames included ChickenStalker, Lucifer Box, and Skittles. One can only assume how Charles’s children earned these imaginative nicknames!
Five. Dickens was fascinated with hypnotism and often experimented on his wife, children, and friends. He believed hypnotism could be used to cure physical ailments and anxieties.
Six. Some scholars believe Dickens suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder. People who knew him said Dickens constantly combed his hair, rearranged furniture, and looked at himself in the mirror.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL - FULL AudioBook - by Charles Dickens - BEST VERSION

Learn English Through Story - A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
By English ListeningTV channel
A Christmas Carol, is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843; the first edition was illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an old miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.
Stave one
The story begins on a cold and bleak Christmas Eve in London, seven years after the death of Ebenezer Scrooge's business partner, Jacob Marley. Scrooge, an old miser, hates Christmas and refuses an invitation to Christmas dinner from his nephew Fred. He turns away two men who seek a donation from him in order to provide food and heating for the poor, and only grudgingly allows his overworked, underpaid clerk, Bob Cratchit, Christmas Day off with pay to conform to the social custom.
At home that night, Scrooge is visited by Marley's ghost, who wanders the Earth, entwined by heavy chains and money boxes, forged during a lifetime of greed and selfishness. Marley tells Scrooge that he has one chance to avoid the same fate: he will be visited by three spirits and he must listen to them or be cursed to carry chains of his own, much longer than Marley's chains.
Stave two
The first of the spirits, the Ghost of Christmas Past, takes Scrooge to Christmas scenes of Scrooge's boyhood and youth, reminding him of a time when he was more innocent. The boyhood scenes portray Scrooge's lonely childhood, his relationship with his beloved sister Fan, and a Christmas party hosted by his first employer, Mr. Fezziwig, who treated Scrooge like a son. They also portray Scrooge's neglected fianc�e Belle, who ends their relationship after she realises that Scrooge will never love her as much as he loves money. Finally, they visit a now-married Belle with her large, happy family on a recent Christmas Eve.
Stave three
The second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes Scrooge to a joy-filled market of people buying the makings of Christmas dinner and celebrations of Christmas in a miner's cottage and in a lighthouse. Scrooge and the ghost also visit Fred's Christmas party. A major part of this stave is taken up with Bob Cratchit's family feast and introduces his youngest son, Tiny Tim, a happy boy who is seriously ill. The spirit informs Scrooge that Tiny Tim will die soon unless the course of events changes. Before disappearing, the spirit shows Scrooge two hideous, emaciated children named Ignorance and Want. He tells Scrooge to beware the former above all and mocks Scrooge's concern for their welfare.
Stave four
Scrooge and Bob Cratchit celebrate Christmas in an illustration from Stave Five of the original edition, 1843.
The third spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, shows Scrooge a Christmas Day in the future. The ghost shows him scenes involving the death of a disliked man. The man's funeral will only be attended by local businessmen if lunch is provided. His charwoman, his laundress, and the local undertaker steal some of his possessions and sell them to a fence. When Scrooge asks the ghost to show anyone who feels any emotion over the man's death, the ghost can only show him the pleasure of a poor couple in debt to the man, rejoicing that his death gives them more time to put their finances in order. After Scrooge asks to see some tenderness connected with any death, the ghost shows him Bob Cratchit and his family mourning the passing of Tiny Tim. The ghost then shows Scrooge the man's neglected grave, whose tombstone bears Scrooge's name. Sobbing, Scrooge pledges to the ghost that he will change his ways to avoid this outcome.
Stave five
Scrooge awakens on Christmas morning a changed man. He spends the day with Fred's family and anonymously sends a large turkey to the Cratchit home for Christmas dinner. The following day he gives Cratchit an increase in pay and becomes like another father to Tiny Tim. From then on Scrooge began to treat everyone with kindness, generosity and compassion, embodying the spirit of Christmas...Thank you very much for watching the video Learn English Through Story - A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens with us.

7 CuriousFacts About Charles Dickens
One of our favorite writers here at Writer’s Relief (WritersRelief.com) is Charles John Huffam Dickens—better known as Charles Dickens and one of the world’s most famous and beloved writers. Dickens wrote the well-known classics Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, and Great Expectations, among others. But, while most people know Charles Dickens, the literary icon…many readers don’t know the man behind the manuscripts. So Writer’s Relief has gathered seven curious facts about literary legend Charles Dickens.
One. Dickens always slept facing north, because he thought it would help him battle his incessant insomnia. Dickens also wrote while facing north because he felt it would stimulate his creativity.
Two. Charles Dickens was almost killed in a train accident! In June of 1865, Dickens was on his way to deliver the latest installment of the novel Our Mutual Friend to his publisher when the train he was riding in derailed. Dickens escaped unharmed, but many passengers were injured and ten where killed. Dickens assisted in tending to the wounded and helped free other passengers who were trapped. Another curious fact about this event that we unearthed here at Writer’s Relief: Dickens died five years later—to the day—after this railway incident.
Three. The Oxford English Dictionary credits Dickens for coining several words and phrases in his work. Examples include “abuzz”, “the creeps”, “flummox”, and “devil-may-care”. The staff here at Writer’s Relief is all abuzz over this information!
Four. Charles Dickens and his wife, Catherine, had ten children, and Dickens had a nickname for each child. These nicknames included ChickenStalker, Lucifer Box, and Skittles. One can only assume how Charles’s children earned these imaginative nicknames!
Five. Dickens was fascinated with hypnotism and often experimented on his wife, children, and friends. He believed hypnotism could be used to cure physical ailments and anxieties.
Six. Some scholars believe Dickens suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder. People who knew him said Dickens constantly combed his hair, rearranged furniture, and looked at himself in the mirror.
Seven. Dickens said that his eight novel, David Copperfield, was his favorite. Our research at Writer’s Relief finds that it’s also the most biographical.

Hi guys I will talk a little Charles Dickens
first of all let's talk about the
BiographyCharles Dikens...
Was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's most well-known fictional characters and is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period. During his life, his works enjoyed unprecedented fame, and by the twentieth century he was widely seen as a literary genius by critics and scholars. His novels and short stories continue to be widely popular.
Born in Portsmouth, England, Dickens was forced to leave school to work in a factory when his father was thrown into debtors' prison. Although he had little formal education, his early impoverishment drove him to succeed. Over his career he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas and hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms.
Dickens sprang to fame with the 1836 serial publication of The Pickwick Papers. Within a few years he had become an international literary celebrity, famous for his humour, satire, and keen observation of character and society. His novels, most published in monthly or weekly instalments, pioneered the serial publication of narrative fiction, which became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication. The instalment format allowed Dickens to evaluate his audience's reaction, and he often modified his plot and character development based on such feedback. For example, when his wife's chiropodist expressed distress at the way Miss Mowcher in David Copperfield seemed to reflect her disabilities, Dickens went on to improve the character with positive features. His plots were carefully constructed, and Dickens often wove in elements from topical events into his narratives. Masses of the illiterate poor chipped in ha'pennies to have each new monthly episode read to them, opening up and inspiring a new class of readers.
Most famous works ...
Oliver Twist.
It is the story of a young orphan, published between 1837 and 1838 relates his adventures, beginning on the day of his birth. From the heart of a dying mother, becomes part of the shocked world of the living, where luck is not exactly his mate.
The scenario begins to locate temporally and spatially on a cold winter night in a small town in England where Oliver's mother is found by people who take her to a hospice to have her baby. After the death of his mother, the child will remain there for ten months before being transferred to another facility where it will withstand the cruelties of Mrs.Monn.
At age 9 he was taken another institution where he continued his miserable life, being adopted by horrible characters.
Canción de navidad de Charles Dickens.
It was published in 1843, and has five chapters which the author called stanzas.
The action takes place in London, on a cold Christmas night. Its protagonist, Mr. Scrooge is a greedy, cold and calculating, that work of three spirits, representing well, enable the conversion of Scrooge, which is not progressive but abrupt and radical.
After the death of his partner, Jacob Marley, our protagonist, becomes sole heir to a fortune.
Casually Christmas night, rejecting the invitation of his nephew and denying help to the needy, he retired to rest. There the spectrum of Marley, his former partner comes, dragging chains, berating their actions, and foreshadowing that he will also be punished unless it receives three spirits.
David Copperfield.
This novel, semi autobiographical, starting on his birthday, a Friday at twelve o'clock, at which it was bound, as the midwives of the place to be unhappy and see spirits for the rest of his days.
Fatherless, endured intrusion into his life and his mother Miss Betsey, a rich and flamboyant aunt who would have preferred that the baby was a girl.
However, his life no major incidents, until his mother decides to get link to Mr. Murdstone, evil figure, accompanied by the presence of such a sinister like him who will suffer all manner of David misfortunes and mistreatment .
Historia de dos ciudades.
The story is set between two cities: London and Paris, at the dawn of the French Revolution. The first city symbolizes peace, second agitation, challenge and chaos.
The first part is set in the year 1775 in France. Lucia is a 18 year old girl who thought her dead father. However, thanks to the mediation of attorney Jarvis Lorry, manages to reunite with him and travel to England.

'Mrs Dickens' Family Christmas' 2011 Documentary (BBC)

Looking at the marriage of Charles Dickens through the eyes of his wife Catherine, Sue Perkins exposes the lesser known reality of the Dickens familyChristmas - very different from the heart-warming versions he presented in A Christmas Carol.
Sue turns her attention to the woman behind the man, revealing parallels between the female characters he created and his changing affections for his wife, namely, in Dickens's mind, her transition from innocent virgin to middle-aged frump.
Scrutinising Dickens's public defence in a national newspaper of his treatment toward Catherine, Sue seeks to set the record straight, promulgating her unconditional love for Dickens and support for his career.
Along the way, she has plenty of laughs, evokes the realities of Victorian marriage, interviews many of today's leading biographers of Mr and Mrs Dickens, explores Charles's role in creating Christmas as we know it - and gets to make a twelfth night cake.
It aired on 30th December2011

Learn English Through Story - A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

Learn English Through Story - A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
By English ListeningTV channel
A Christmas Carol, is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843; the first edition was illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an old miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.
Stave one
The story begins on a cold and bleak Christmas Eve in London, seven years after the death of Ebenezer Scrooge's business partner, Jacob Marley. Scrooge, an old miser, hates Christmas and refuses an invitation to Christmas dinner from his nephew Fred. He turns away two men who seek a donation from him in order to provide food and heating for the poor, and only grudgingly allows his overworked, underpaid clerk, Bob Cratchit, Christmas Day off with pay to conform to the social custom.
At home that night, Scrooge is visited by Marley's ghost, who wanders the Earth, entwined by heavy chains and money boxes, forged during a lifetime of greed and selfishness. Marley tells Scrooge that he has one chance to avoid the same fate: he will be visited by three spirits and he must listen to them or be cursed to carry chains of his own, much longer than Marley's chains.
Stave two
The first of the spirits, the Ghost of Christmas Past, takes Scrooge to Christmas scenes of Scrooge's boyhood and youth, reminding him of a time when he was more innocent. The boyhood scenes portray Scrooge's lonely childhood, his relationship with his beloved sister Fan, and a Christmas party hosted by his first employer, Mr. Fezziwig, who treated Scrooge like a son. They also portray Scrooge's neglected fianc�e Belle, who ends their relationship after she realises that Scrooge will never love her as much as he loves money. Finally, they visit a now-married Belle with her large, happy family on a recent Christmas Eve.
Stave three
The second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes Scrooge to a joy-filled market of people buying the makings of Christmas dinner and celebrations of Christmas in a miner's cottage and in a lighthouse. Scrooge and the ghost also visit Fred's Christmas party. A major part of this stave is taken up with Bob Cratchit's family feast and introduces his youngest son, Tiny Tim, a happy boy who is seriously ill. The spirit informs Scrooge that Tiny Tim will die soon unless the course of events changes. Before disappearing, the spirit shows Scrooge two hideous, emaciated children named Ignorance and Want. He tells Scrooge to beware the former above all and mocks Scrooge's concern for their welfare.
Stave four
Scrooge and Bob Cratchit celebrate Christmas in an illustration from Stave Five of the original edition, 1843.
The third spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, shows Scrooge a Christmas Day in the future. The ghost shows him scenes involving the death of a disliked man. The man's funeral will only be attended by local businessmen if lunch is provided. His charwoman, his laundress, and the local undertaker steal some of his possessions and sell them to a fence. When Scrooge asks the ghost to show anyone who feels any emotion over the man's death, the ghost can only show him the pleasure of a poor couple in debt to the man, rejoicing that his death gives them more time to put their finances in order. After Scrooge asks to see some tenderness connected with any death, the ghost shows him Bob Cratchit and his family mourning the passing of Tiny Tim. The ghost then shows Scrooge the man's neglected grave, whose tombstone bears Scrooge's name. Sobbing, Scrooge pledges to the ghost that he will change his ways to avoid this outcome.
Stave five
Scrooge awakens on Christmas morning a changed man. He spends the day with Fred's family and anonymously sends a large turkey to the Cratchit home for Christmas dinner. The following day he gives Cratchit an increase in pay and becomes like another father to Tiny Tim. From then on Scrooge began to treat everyone with kindness, generosity and compassion, embodying the spirit of Christmas...Thank you very much for watching the video Learn English Through Story - A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens with us.
